$1 3D Scan Prize: Richard Branson's Beard

thingiverse

Win $1 by 3D scanning Richard Branson's beard! First to upload an original scan of his facial hair on Thingiverse, tagging it as a derivative of this post, will receive the prize. Scan resolution should be medium-rough quality, and must be taken with Mr. Branson's consent. An additional $1 prize will be given if the winning scan also includes his hair. The scans are needed for an ongoing project. Winner chosen by sole determination; proof of authenticity may be required. Other 3D scan prizes available include an asteroid's surface, Challenger Deep in Marianas Trench, and a portrait of Peter Diamandis. This initiative reflects the digital era's public-spirited race for private status, with billionaires sponsoring scans to become the Medici or Carnegie of the digital age. Upload your scans on Thingiverse and follow Cosmo Wenman on Twitter and YouTube for more updates.
